(Proposed changes appear on following pages.)
Occasionally departments will hire people to fill grant positions under specialized programs
for the life of the grant only using existing county classifications, Most grants require that screen-
ing for these positions be done under a recognized merit system process which provides grant employees
Merit System protection for the life of the grant.
A department head may employe a person through this process under a grant, in an existing
classification for specialized skills required by the grant while, at the same time he might not employ
that same person in the same classification under his regularly budgeted programs for lack of experience,
knowledge or other required skills.
This request for a rule change is aimed at clarifying the status of grant employees with
emphasis on their protected rights under the Merit System for the life of the grant only.
